A rare case of intrabony angiomyoma affecting the mandible is presented. The patient was 25 years old male who complained of swelling and pain in the posterior segment of his lower jaw. Histopathologically diagnosed angiomyoma is discussed with emphasis on the pathogenesis in the present case. Literature concerning the lesion is reviewed. In the present paper we report a case of angiomyoma affecting the mandible. Angiomyomas are also known as vascular leiomyomas which commonly occur in the wrist and ankle region. They are painful tumours as was also evident in our case. These tumours are characterized histopathologically by convuluted thick walled vessels associated with bundles of well differentiated smooth muscle elements. They rarely affect the oral cavity. Therefore our case is one of the few cases affecting the oral cavity as reported earlier. Tumours of the smooth muscle cells which form involuntary muscle are known as leiomyomas. These commonly affect the alimentary tract. They are rarely found to affect the oral cavity.
本文报道了一例罕见的累及下颌骨的骨内血管平滑肌瘤病例。患者为25岁男性，主诉下颌后段肿胀疼痛。对经组织病理学诊断的血管平滑肌瘤进行了讨论，重点阐述了本例的发病机制，并复习了有关该病变的文献。本文报告了一例累及下颌骨的血管平滑肌瘤病例。血管平滑肌瘤也被称为血管性平滑肌瘤，常见于手腕和脚踝区域。它们是疼痛性肿瘤，在我们的病例中也很明显。这些肿瘤在组织病理学上的特征是迂曲的厚壁血管与分化良好的平滑肌束相关。它们很少累及口腔。因此，我们的病例是如先前报道的少数累及口腔的病例之一。形成不随意肌的平滑肌细胞肿瘤被称为平滑肌瘤。这些肿瘤通常累及消化道，很少发现累及口腔。
